For some reasons, she felt that if she dared to say anything, the one who would suffer would be her. However, she had come here with her sister in order to fulfill the request that their father had made.
How could they back down so easily?
"Is this how the Nan Family treat their guest?" Qu Yu Nie asked in a cold tone.
Nan Hua raised her head. "The library is not a public place. For a guest to come and point their fingers towards the owner, I have learned something new about Qu Family."
Nan Xin furrowed her eyebrows and felt a bit surprised when she heard how Nan Hua replied Qu Yu Nie. It was rare for Nan Hua to refute one's words so openly like that because in the past, Nan Hua simply waited for Nan Xin to finish performing all of her words before destroying her with few words.
On the other hand, Qu Yu Nie was so speechless that she found no other words to refute.
She was indeed the guest, but her action towards Nan Hua was not polite. Nan Hua was still part of the Nan Family and this was their house. The one who should have acted polite was indeed her.
"Girls, don't quarrel with each other." Madam Qu walked into the library. Her gaze landed on Nan Hua for a moment as ruthlessness flashed. "My nieces have finally had the time to come and pay a visit. Come with me to have tea together."
"I'll return first, Concubine Mother."
Hearing that phrase, Madam Qu's lips twitched as her eyes turned red in anger and humiliation. Even until now, Nan Hua would never call her 'mother' and always had to add the term 'Concubine' in front of the word mother.
What could it be if it was not humiliation?
Qu Yu Nie snapped, "How can you treat your mother like that? You should have addressed her properly. Is this how the Nan Family teach their daughter?"
Nan Hua looked at Qu Yu Nie. "My mother had died. Would you like me to tell you how she died in the first place?"
The temperature turned cold.
Qu Yu Nie was not stupid. If Nan Hua began to tell the story about how Madam Qu suppressed her mother, causing her to be sick back then, how many people would listen to it? There were many servants who came here because she brought along her servants. Not to mention, there were also Nan Hua and Nan Xin's servants.
Thus, Qu Yu Nie couldn't say anything.
"Forget it, Nie'er." Madam Qu looked at Nan Hua coldly, trying her best to suppress the urge to strangle the girl in front of her. She really didn't want to interact with Nan Hua if only it was possible, but she wanted to make this girl suffer and knew her place when she's in Nan Shu Cheng Family Residence.
"Aunt, you must have it hard with such a rebellious daughter." Qu Yu Nie patted Madam Qu's hand and looked at Nan Hua coldly.
However, Nan Hua paid no heed to their provocation and simply walked past them. Her steps were unhurried and elegant, one that clearly signified her status as that of a main daughter. From her expression, her action, and her words, they could see that she didn't put them in her eyes.
Nan Xin pursed her lips but said nothing. She was more than happy to watch them all tearing each other apart. Being able to watch the show this time was already very pleasant for her.
"It can't be helped." Madam Qu's eyes turned several degrees colder. "Come on and have some tea. Ni'er can also follow."
While they had their tea, Nan Hua walked to her quarter in unhurried pace. She knew that Madam Qu was unable to do anything for the past few weeks when she was here. And since she couldn't deal with her herself, she ended up calling for reinforcement.
However, she picked the wrong time.
In Nan Hua's Quarter, Xiao Yun looked at Nan Hua with an aggrieved expression. "Miss, are you going to let them do as they wishes?"
She was so angry when she saw the two girls burst into the library. But with so many people watching and all, she couldn't possibly turn violent all of the sudden and chase them all out.
"Am I that kind hearted?" Nan Hua passed a look at Xiao Yun. She took her embroidery as her hand began to move once more. "The night will be cold, giving an eye for an eye should be perfect."
Xiao Yun was silent then acknowledged what Nan Hua said. Since Nan Hua wanted to make them suffer the same fate they were planning to put on Nan Hua, it meant that they would have to keep eyes on everything.
As Nan Hua continued her embroidery, she looked at the piece of cloth in her hand. It had turned into lively lush of flowers in white color. Looked so pure and beautiful that one felt it shouldn't be stained.
The day passed quietly.
Nan Hua looked like she was doing her routine of doing embroidery, eating, and sunbathing. And when it was night time, she returned to her room without any remarkable action.
But the residence turned into chaos at that very night.
"Miss, the people from Qu Family are here." Xiao Yun came to report.
"Tell them to stay outside the quarter." Nan Hua lazily stood up and motioned for Mu Yan to help her do her hair. Mu Yan swiftly came forward and tied Nan Hua's hair so that it wouldn't be messy. Though, in her opinion, there was no need for such complicated steps.
After it was done, Nan Hua walked out of her room unhurriedly.
